What 1.0 and Tanaka did good

[Tonkra]

Reason is as Yoshi has done the CEO is making the same mistake by under-estimating the player base.

just stopped reading here. its just ignorant and not true.

look at the thousand points that are implemented with 2.0. and have been what ff players were looking for.


now people come along and say tanaka did so much better? I'd say these are the people who enjoy the grind back then etc. pp.. its true that ARR will have much much more final fantasy feeling than XIV 1.0. and even FFXI ever had.

the ff online franchise till then lacked a lot of typical final fantasy stuff. a chocobo companion with a gambit system, limit break and stuff.. thats not WoW'ish to me.

bringing up the gameplay to modern mmORPGS does not make it a clone of something. FFXIV 1.0. was HORRIBLE to play, and had nothing to offer than grind. you forgot what the release version was about.
and you havent seen any of FFXIV 2.0. just the starter areas and the basics..

you cant just look at the basics and starter areas and say this is a wow clone, just because of the fact that it has quests now in it.. you are not open for the ff online franchise to change.

thats it. and nothin more. its not about standing in one place and grind one mob after an other for hours like in FF11..
